Sync Your Calendar to Talkpush 🗓

  1. Go to Account Settings in the upper right corner and click My Calendar.

  2. On My Calendar, select your calendar provider (e.g., Google).

  3. In the pop-up window, agree to Cronofy’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, then click Link Google Account.

  4. Choose the email account of the calendar you want to sync with Talkpush.

Click Allow to grant Cronofy access.


Note on Time Zones

  • The timezone displayed in Talkpush depends on your system timezone.

Timezone data is cached for up to 1 hour, so changes to your system timezone may take up to an hour to reflect.

There is a caching of timezone that expires after 1 hour, meaning the system takes up to an hour to update the time if the system timezone is changed.

Example:


Setting Up Time Slots and Availability

You can configure how candidates book interviews by defining slot length and availability.

Length of a Time Slot

Select your preferred meeting duration:

  • 15 minutes

  • 30 minutes

  • 1 hour

    Activating Time Slots

    • Click individual time slots to enable them, or

    • Click and drag vertically by day to activate multiple slots at once.

Important Notes

  • Recruiters must have free time available in their corporate calendar that matches the availability configured in Talkpush; otherwise, no slots will appear.

  • Talkpush only accesses the recruiter’s calendar, not the candidate’s.

  • Once an interview is booked, no updates are written to the candidate’s personal calendar.

Remember to click Save after making changes.

Customize your Automated Messages and Reminders

Scroll down the calendar and set up your automated messages:

Confirmation Message

This message will be sent to the candidates once they have selected and submitted their interview date and time

Previous Day Reminder

A reminder message will be automatically sent to the candidate one day before their interview. You can create customized templates for the reminder message.

Same Day Reminder

This message will be sent automatically to the candidate on the day of the interview. This message can also be customized to the candidate.

A must-do before you customize your Automated Messages and Reminders is to read the Ultimate Token Guide.


Q: What is the calendar invite status for the candidate after booking an interview?
A: The application/system has no access to the candidate’s calendar, only the recruiter’s. So, no updates should be reflected in the candidate’s calendar.

Q: Can the scheduled interviews made in the recruiter's calendar be exported?

A: Yes, that data can be exported. Please take note that you must use the Calendar Scheduled at attribute and not the Scheduled at Attribute.

Q: What is the difference between "Calendar Scheduled At" and "Scheduled At"?
A: Calendar Scheduled At: This refers to the schedule in the recruiter’s calendar, reflecting specific appointments or events they have set.


Scheduled At: This tracks the schedule within the recruitment center, focusing on activities or interviews organized through the recruitment platform.

In short, "Calendar Scheduled At" aligns with individual recruiter planning, while "Scheduled At" pertains to recruitment process scheduling in the system.
